JP Garage Salem

Dealer-trained. Independently run.

Fifteen years of Volkswagen service management, now behind an independent workshop that takes every make — petrol, diesel and electric. Main-dealer standards, itemised estimates you approve on your phone, and no dealer mark-up.

Why this workshop

The standards came from the dealership. The price didn't.

15

Years inside authorised service

Our founder spent them writing the process sheets, training technicians and signing off final inspections. That's the standard the bay runs on.

01

One workshop, every make

German, Japanese, Korean, Indian. Diagnostics, body, paint and electrical under one roof — you're not sent across town for the next job.

OEM

Genuine parts, sourced openly

We source OEM and genuine parts and show you the invoice. If a quality aftermarket part is the sensible call, we'll say so and let you choose.

EV

Built for what's coming

Salem is buying electric faster than its workshops are learning them. We are building for that deliberately rather than waiting to be caught out.

Services

Complete car care under one roof.

Servicing, mechanical, body, paint, protection, detailing and insurance — handled in one place, for every make. Every job opens with a photographed inspection and an itemised estimate before a spanner is touched.

Electric vehicles

Salem is going electric. Most workshops aren't.

An EV doesn't need an oil change. It needs someone who understands a high-voltage system, knows why the brake pads last four times longer and wear differently, and can read a battery's state of health instead of guessing at its range.

Salem is buying electric faster than its workshops are learning them. We are building that capability deliberately, the same way the rest of this workshop was built — properly, and without pretending.

Tell us what you drive before you book it in. We will say plainly what we can do on your car today and what we can't — and if a job needs the manufacturer's proprietary high-voltage tooling, we'll point you to who has it rather than guess on a traction battery.
What an electric car actually needs
HVHigh-voltage safety procedure. Isolation, lockout and insulated tooling before anything is opened.
SOHBattery state-of-health report. Real capacity and cell balance, written down — not a dashboard guess.
THMThermal management service. Coolant circuit, pump and pack temperature behaviour under load.
CHGCharging system checks. Port, cable, onboard charger and AC/DC charge behaviour verified.
BRKRegen-aware brake service. Discs that corrode from under-use need different care to discs that wear.
TYRTyre & suspension for the weight. EVs are heavier and torque harder. Wear patterns are not the same.
The digital job card

You'll know what's happening to your car.

The worst part of leaving your car at a garage is the silence. Every JP Garage job runs on a digital job card — photographed inspection, itemised estimate, line-by-line approval from your phone, and progress updates until it's back in your hands.

01Photographed inspection. Every fault we find is photographed before we quote it. You see what we saw.
02Itemised estimate. Parts and labour split out, line by line. No single lump-sum figure.
03You approve, not us. Decline any line and we leave it. Nothing gets done that you didn't agree to.
04Progress you can see. Stage updates with photos as the work moves through the bay.
05History that stays. Every job, part and invoice kept against your registration — useful the day you sell.
How a job runs

Four steps. No surprise invoice.

STEP 01

Book

Call or WhatsApp with your make and what's wrong. If you're in Salem city, we'll collect the car — no charge.

STEP 02

Inspect

A full check on the lift, every fault photographed, then an itemised estimate sent to your phone. Nothing starts before this.

STEP 03

Approve

You go through it line by line and approve what you want done. Decline a line and we leave it — and tell you honestly how long it can wait.

STEP 04

Deliver

Road-tested, washed and dropped back. Old parts returned if you want them, warranty on the work in writing.

Who you're dealing with

Two brothers. One workshop.

JP Garage isn't a chain and isn't a franchise. When you hand over your keys, you're handing them to the people whose name is on the board.

Jaya Prakash, founder of JP Garage

Jaya Prakash

Founder

Jaya Prakash spent fifteen years in Volkswagen authorised service, the last of them as Service Manager for the region. He built the process sheets, trained the technicians, and put his signature on the final inspection of more cars than he can count.

He opened JP Garage because he believed the standard could travel and the overhead didn't have to. Every car that comes through this bay is checked the way he was trained to check it — regardless of the badge on the bonnet.

Jayaram

Founder

Jaya Prakash's twin brother and co-founder. His career has been in automotive insurance, which means he knows precisely how a claim gets approved — and the small, avoidable things that get one rejected.

He runs the insurance side of the business — cashless claim support when your car arrives on a recovery truck, and bumper-to-bumper renewals when the policy is due. The estimate, the photographs and the surveyor's visit line up the first time, so you aren't the one chasing anybody.

Inside the workshop

Come and look before you commit.

Any workshop worth trusting will let you walk the floor. Drop in unannounced — the bay is clean or it isn't, and you'll be able to tell in ten seconds.
